Siemens' extensive end-to-end Xcelerator portfolio, with its capacity to allow manufacturers to build a comprehensive digital thread, gave the company high marks for innovation. The excellent integration of these products allows for a continuous loop of optimization. Few others match this capability in the market. In addition, the company's low/no-code, drag-and-drop, UI, and software functionality is supported by the company's acquisition of Mendix, and is incredibly competitive with other low-code offerings in the market. Siemens also does an excellent job deploying its extensive functionality over the cloud.
